Did something go wrong] because redness in cheeks persists after PDL treatment?

January 25, 2019
Asked By:paulgiannuzzi in Brooklyn, NY

I got PDL laser on my face (cheeks only) for redness. This was my second session and the intensity was increased. It's been 2 weeks and my cheeks have only gotten more red then before. I am worried the increase in power caused permanent worse redness in my cheeks being that it's been almost 2 weeks and i have not seen any results when the first treatment went well and saw results in just a couple of days. I wake up more red than ever before. Did something go wrong?
